Isolated avulsion of the biceps femoris insertion-injury patterns and treatment options: a case report and literature review

Matthias Kusma et al. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg. 2007 Nov.

Abstract

Isolated avulsion of the biceps femoris tendon is a relatively rare condition. We report a case of a 43 year-old soccer player with a rupture of the biceps femoris tendon which occurred in a hyperextension of the knee. Based on this case, we discuss the literature referring to injury pattern and treatment.
